I don't use any of them (and use an own method for locking) but just a hint:
Get the book "Perl Cookbook" (or similar, I know the German title only) from
O'Reilly. There is a very good section in it concerning various methods of
file locking.

I do have the Perl Cookbook (absolutely invaluable), and I'm familiar
with the flock function and fcntl constants, but like all good perl
programmers, I am lazy, so I'm now looking for a module that will
handle the dirty details for me and present me with an elegant syntax.
